center of the street for said line. . . 4th -to enter Cedar City at 2nd South Street in the east part of the city. . . 5th -the privilege of purchasing enough of said plant to supply the city and its inhabitants with light, or the entire plant at the expiration of five years from the date of franchise, at cost.' A location site was to be chosen for the hydro-electric plant. One suggested location was near the Heber C. Jenson sawmill adjacent to the Mammoth Creek in Garfield County. If they had decided to build the plant on this site there would have been an ample supply of clear spring water from two good sources, which contained more than the normal flow of Coal Creek. The flow could have been diverted by means of a canal. In addition, the ground was more suitable for building a canal than the soil in Coal Creek Canyon, and plenty of White Pine poles could be obtained close by for the transnlission line. The water from the Mammoth would not freeze like the water does in Coal Creek. However, the distance of approximately 35 miles was a disadvantage. A rough cost estimate of the power plant on the Mammoth and the wiring of the city was $23,000.00. The second suggested loration was in the Coal Creek Canyon a few miles east of Cedar City. The cost estimate for this location was $13,748. The third proposed location was in the Red Creek Canyon east of Paraxonah. This cost estimate was $18,570. Lehi W. Jones interviewed several influential men in Salt Lake City and they all favored the Mammoth site. Although sixty percent of the power would have been lost in conveying the current from the Mammoth to Cedar City, there would still have been three times the amount of available power than the plant on Coal Creek could furnish. The people of Cedar City consulted two engineers from Salt Lake City, Stanley Crawford and Mr. Egan. These two men came to Cedar City to go over the suggested locations and assist by suggestions and recommendations to help decide on the best site for the power plant. O n June 16, 1906 they gave information to the board relative to this project. At a meeting on the 19th of June, U. T. Jones made a motion that the <leal Creek site he selected. At the board meeting held on Feb. 1, 1907 it was moved and carried that hl. H. Dalley be engaged to survey the line of canal, make the necessary map, and fill out the application to the State Engineer. A canal was dug on the north side of Coal Creek Canyon. It was specified that the ditch be dug so that the bottom would be two and onehalf feet wide. I t was necessary for a flume to be built across Salt Creek Canyon. In building this contour canal, it was also necessary to make tunnels in several places so that the water would run at the proper level. 164
